Day of Decisive Battle

After the witches got their much-needed rest and mourned their losses for the night, the following day quickly arrived.

'I'm excited for the upcoming battle, Supreme Leader.'

'So am I.'

Zodreg's excitement could be clearly sensed in his sound transmission to Vaan, which didn't come as a surprise at all.

After all, Zodreg and the other nine Rank 5 young elite dragons had been bored of playing their supporting roles. Their chance to reveal themselves to the world and actively participate in the forthcoming battle was finally arriving.

"My Lord, all 250-thousand battle witches have arrived and are ready to sortie!" Artemis excitedly reported after the battle witch army lined up outside Fort Whitebridge.

After losing 20-thousand battle witches in battle and leaving behind 10-thousand battle witches in each fort to defend them, Vaan was left with 250-thousand battle witches of the original 300-thousand he had used to fend off the Holy Knight Empire's invasion.
